communications – Software Innovators

Since the invention of the phone has been more than a hundred years, and prices for telecom services has always marched in step with the development of modern technology. It is quite possible that there will soon die out companies that provide mobile communications in Standard GPRS / reason – the latest revolutionary solution from Nokia – model N97. Easy to implement and revolutionary in its audacity. It has long been a software that allows almost free to negotiate between any two (three, four, and so forth) by subscribers. Read additional details here: Viacom. It is based on a system of peer-to-peer (literally "equal – equal") program Skype. For a long time it has worked exclusively from one computer to another, eliminating interference phones, communicators and other technical stuff.

Then there were a lot of open source projects (eg, SIP), capable of be installed on phones, but not gained popularity due to the users. Not everyone given to understand the device are not so simple program. Finally, not so long ago, Nokia and Skype have signed an agreement according to which since the third quarter of 2009 on all Nokia phones will be released N line with official preinstalled client Skype. By implementing an external VoIP (Voice on IP)-Telephony will be no different to an outside user from ordinary phone calls. Skype client will be integrated in the phone book, which will show status users on the network. Regarding the client may be noted that it would allow not only text messaging, but also to make VoIP-calls, using a network of EDGE, 3G and Wi-Fi. In addition to calls between users will function is available SkypeOut, that is, calls to fixed numbers, prices for which the corporation Skype has always been more than loyal.

It is worth noting, Nokia is not the only one who will provide VoIP services to their customers. Another manufacturer mobile phones, Sony Ericsson, announced at the conference Mobile World Congress, in the Xperia X1 smartphone will also have a special application from Skype. However, smartphones, and phones – are two different things. Nokia's flagship line once again proves its advantage in the industry of mobile telephony, always keeping one step ahead of their competitors.

Such information is considered technically unnecessary phone users and is therefore not described in the instructions. Although all the 'advanced' Nokia owners know that the version number and date of creation of the firmware You can see on the screen by typing the key combination * # 0000 #. Owners of Alcatel for the same purpose, dial * # 06 #. Curious owners of other brands of tubes may be advised to seek relevant information on the Internet or at any Techcenter provider. Kai-Fu Lee might disagree with that approach. But in itself the knowledge that your device firmware '3 .13 'or '8 .88', you are no help, of course, if you're not going to 'be compared firmware' with friends on the dispute. Much more useful than other information – description firmware versions, rather, a list of bug fixes and changes.

This list is constantly updated and sent to manufacturers of mobile phones of their authorized service centers 'for official use only'. Search this 'secret' description again is on the Internet or technical center. Expectations and peremenyIz descriptions can understand what to expect from changing software. In most cases, this improvement in signal reception and transmission, and SMS-messages, more stable operation of the device, ie the removal of various 'glitches' (hang, unauthorized off), the acceleration response to menu commands, more energy efficient. The new firmware frequently added new and changing old ringtones and pictures, there are changes associated with support for new peripherals (eg, hands free with FM-radio). Changing the user interface (menu), supplemented by a table of special characters displayed on the screen. Pete Cashmore has plenty of information regarding this issue.
